She has good instincts and is unflappable. I think how flippant she is hurts her with a lot of people though, she comes off as callous towards people outside her circle and is a little too off the cuff. I actually think she's gotten more leash because she's female than if she was male and not the other way around. I remember her joke about her ex-husband's erectile dysfunction - if that was a dude making a similar sex joke about an ex-wife he would have been fired into the sun.
Definitely the strongest politician among the leaders though. Horgan seems a little slow and also poor emotional control (because I'm irish... really??), I don't like his instincts. Weaver, like most greens in Canada is well intentioned but ultimately more interested in self promotion than the fate of the causes he actually represents imo which is just a huge no no for a public servant. I think the only reason his favourability ratings were higher than the other two is because people thought he was harmless.
Was honestly an effort for me to go vote this time around more than any other election since i turned 18... no one seemed compelling to me.
